Series reuniting people who have been separated by time. Footballers reunite to recall the single they recorded to mark their team's passage into the World Cup finals in 1982.

In 1982, Northern Ireland's football team made it to the finals of the World Cup in Spain and, against the odds, caused a huge upset when they beat the host team. But little is remembered of their other winning success that year - the song they'd record to mark the historic moment. For one last time, players and singing sensation from the time Dana reunite to recall the time when Yer Man Hit the Ball and Northern Ireland had it all!
